French
President Emmanuel Macron and his Iranian counterpart, Hassan Rouhani,
say they have agreed to work together over the next few weeks to
preserve the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal despite threats by U.S. President
Trump that he will pull out of it.

Following an hour-long phone call between the two leaders, Macron
also said he hoped to broaden the discussions to include Tehran’s
missile programmes, its nuclear activities beyond 2025 and the regional
crisis in the Middle East.

The United States has been trying to drum up support for new
sanctions against Iran, and has repeatedly threatened to tear up the
agreement negotiated between six world powers.
